Ernest Hemingway fishing and a river of Michigan postcards
May 30, 2009
Young Ernest Hemingway fishing in Horton’s Creek, near Walloon Lake, Michigan, photo by UpNorth Memories – Donald (Don) Harrison.
I thought about titling this post “Why Ernest Hemingway Became Such a Tough Guy” – this is the kind a photo your mom pulls out and shows your girlfriend when you’re 16. Check out
this Hemingway fishing slideshow and also this feature on Hemingway’s youth on Absolute Michigan.
If you love Michigan history, you will love Don Harrison’s Up North Memories. Don has nearly 10,000 postcards scanned in and available for viewing and (in some cases) for sale in his eBay store. One way to explore them is through Flickriver.
Enjoy the weekend!!

hemingway’s mom was kinda sickminded in often dressing little Hemi like a girl. he had a very sheltered, pampered childhood, which orobably led to his wanting adventure and asserting his masculinity in every conceivable way later on.
